Hello what about something (or a couple of things) that parse rss, netnews, etc into a mailbox file like the ones in /mail/box/$user ? that way you could still use the mail tools as they are :-?
btw, is there someone implementing what Russ said about upasfs from p9p? (a mailbox or maildir module iirc) having an upasfs which do not store all in ram would be great :) slds. gabi On Jan 6, 2008 9:53 PM, Enrico Weigelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > I've started to design an new filesystem for univeral mail/message > (as replacement for mailfs), which should be able to cope with all > kind of mail-alike messages (including NetNews, RSS, etc) and is > meant to (ideally) be the primary/only interface for MUAs. > > This of course requires a lot of more functionality, eg. handling > subscriptions, authentication (to the actual server) and misc > configuration stuff. > > My current ideas can be seen at: > > * http://oss-qm.metux.de/index.php/9forge/mailfs-ng > > > What do you think about this ? > > > cu > -- > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: > http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce > Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: > http://patches.metux.de/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- >
